Is this good enough to run Condor?

Intel Core i5-8400 - 8GB Memory - NVIDIA GTX 1060 3GB - 1TB Hard
Oculus - Rift S PC-Powered VR

https://www.oculus.com/rift-s/ - there are min specs there, and a tool you can download to check if your system is good to go or not.

I believe he was asking if Condor would run on his system.

From the Condor Support page:

PC
To install and run Condor you will need

Windows 7, 8 or 10
Intel i3, i5, i7 CPU or equivalent.
5.5 GB of free space on hard drive or SSD
A dedicated graphics card with 1 GB memory. The graphics card should have benchmark (www.videocardbenchmark.net) result of 1000 minimum, 4000 is very good and 8000 perfect.
(Integrated graphics cards and cards with benchmark result below 1000 are usable, but with severely reduced graphics settings)
Internet connection required for activation
Virtual Reality
Condor 2 supports the Oculus Rift VR headset, and using Revive also the HTC Vive headset. Both of these have their own requirements, which can be checked for your system using tools on the Oculus and Vive websites.

Thanks for the information.
Im buying a PC just to run Condor 2
I understand that my Mac won’t work even with boot camp if using a VR headset.

MAC should work -- if the GPU is powerful enough.

The PC spec you posted above should be fine, but I would recommend SSD instead of hard drive.

Well... bunch of boxes arrived today... lets find out if this Condor 2 VR helps this pilot of planes with a fan on the nose become a glider pilot.

come join us for Condor 2 flights with teamxc.us . We fly twice a week and chat the whole time on Discord. Great fun, and has kept my skills sharp over the long winter break.

OK.....I will ask the stupid questions....(sorta not stupid if asked....).
What version Condor?
Anything else from longer time personal/club usage we need to do your events?
I ask.....welp....my son ran the early version, account lapsed.
What is required, (OS and version, personal site hardware, connection speed, Condor version.....likely mine is unsupported....)...etc.....

Hi Charlie,

Condor2 with the latest updates and hangar updates is required for nearly all of the online/multiplayer servers I've checked out. The updates are free once you purchase Condor2 ($65 one-time fee on Cumulus Soaring - worth it!) http://www.cumulus-soaring.com/condor2.htm

System requirements are under the Support tab on CondorSoaring.com. Here's the latest from the site:
